techniques. The missions of ICDKE are to share novel research solutions
to problems of today's information society that fulfil the needs of
heterogeneous applications and environments and to identify new issues
and directions for future research and development work. ICDKE seeks
submissions from academia and industry presenting research on all
practical and theoretical aspects of advanced data-intensive applications,
data and knowledge engineering as well as case studies and implementation
experiences. All topic areas related to data and knowledge engineering
are of interest and in scope. ICDKE gives researchers and practitioners
a unique opportunity to share their perspectives with others interested
in the various aspects of engineering.
